About me

Software developer, frontend focus

Why I build

I like taking an idea all the way: the data, the interface, and the last ten percent that makes it feel finished.

The data

Why-Fires

Fire detections fill a grid; most of the cells ranked riskiest then saw fire.

Digit Recognizer

A drawn digit becomes 28 × 28 pixels; a CNN's layers pick one of ten.

The interface

Birdie Golf

A lesson, event or trainer edited once updates every page that shows it.

WhatToWear

Weather, your own clothes and your commute meet in one answer, shown first.

The loading line waits for content and fonts, then snaps into the dot.

The last ten percent

Releases reach the client's site through a self-hosted update channel, then the handover.

WhatToWear

A build clears a 12-step release gate, then approval and deploy are recorded apart.

The Containers

A deploy doctor rates the new app's host needs; the gateway then routes to it.
